Default Is 8400M G good for guild Wars(laptop)?

Is 8400M G good for guild Wars(laptop)?
I want to buy a cheap laptop (1000 euros) and it contains this card.
Do you think I will enjoy playing?Will it have lag?Will it stuck(I have warrior=fast moves)?
Do you think I must get another caRD?
I don't want to spend a lot of money for this laptop!

It'll run it better than most intel chips will but judging by the specs the framerates wont be that amazing. I'd esitmate probly 30-40 fps at a somewhat lower res like 1024x768 at peak. But if that works for you it'll do.

Refer to the other forty threads around video cards for gw. Intel integrated runs GW fine. That card will run GW fine at max resolution on most monitors.

Its pretty good. I use it myself on my laptop, i have a 8400M GS.
Its perfect for that resolution. It may be a bit spiky on the edges, but you can get mods or just change the settings to make that better.

I can even run guild with at High, no antianylising on a 22inch screen and its great.

So its good.

I have a Go 7150M which is integrated, and it runs Guild Wars perfectly fine. So I would think that an 8400M sould run it just fine.

Just dont get the stuff that trys to cool your labtop whenever it overheats and it plays the game and amazingly slow frames per second. I have that and I get super lag for 5 mins than 5 mins normal play than repeat. It's seriously retarded lol.

Screen resolution.

Example: Mine is 1680x1050 (widescreen)

Most low ends cards will struggle on higher resolution screens.
